PUNCHING DEVICE.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,813, dated October 4, 1887.

' Application filed June 17, 1887. Serial No. 241,650. (No model.)

To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANSON WARREN PAYNE, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Maine, 'in the county of Broome andState of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Punches, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in punches for increasing the size of the interdental spaces of saws; and its object is to provide a device which will be especially adapted to be attached to a wagon or portable frame; and it consists in a certain novel construction, hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a wagon with my improved punch connected thereto, and in an upright or operative position. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the punch, the latter being shown as turned over when in the wagon for transportation. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the punch.

Referring to -the drawings by letter, A designates a wagon bed of any desired or preferred construction, and B designates the punch-frame, to the opposite sides of which the arms 0 are pivoted. These arms 0 extend I into the wagon-bed, and are secured to the floor of the same in any desired manner. The arms 0 are also provided with the pivoted or hinged braces D, which are connected to the punch-frame when it is raised, and serve to maintain it in an operative position.

E designates the die-plate projecting from the lower portion of the punch-frame, and F designates the punch, supported by and working vertically in the offsets G H. The lower end or cutting portion, I, of the punch is tapered, as shown, and its under surface is inclined rearwardly, so as to effectually punch cured to the offset G, has its upper branch or An elliptical leaf engaged by the stem M and held thereon by the nut N: This spring serves to throw the punch upward .after the pressure of the cam-lever thereon has been relieved, and the nut N can be adjusted to vary the tension of the spring, as will be readily understood.

In practice, when it is desired to use the machine, it is turned to an upright position and braced. The saw is placed on the dieplate and gummed by depressing the punch, as will be readily understood. After the saw has been gummed the punch is turned over into the wagon, and is out of the way and ready for transportation to another point.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided a device which can be readily moved from place to place to gumv claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1'. A punch for gumming saws, mounted on a'traveling' frame and adapted to swing over into the same, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the punch frame, the arms 0, extending rearward therefrom and having a pivotal connection therewith, and the hinged brace connecting the arms 0 and the punch-frame when extended, substantially as specified.

3. The combination of the punch-frame, the punch having an offset on its rear side, a coiled spring fitted on said offset, an adj ustablestop on the offset to vary the tension of the spring, and a cam-lever bearing on the upper end of the punch, substantially as specified.

4. In combination with a wagon-body, the arms 0, secured thereto, and the punch-frame pivotally mounted upon the arms, so as to swing over horizontally into the body of the wagon, and the locking device to hold the punch-frame in its vertical position, as set forth. 7 V l In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aiiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ANSON WARREN PAYNE.
